An AI-powered copyright tool is taking down AI-generated Mario pictures

Nintendo is cracking down on unauthorized Mario images on X (formerly Twitter), including AI-generated and fan art content. Dozens of posts were removed after takedown notices were issued by Tracer, a company using AI to identify potential copyright violations. The removals affected various types of Mario-related content, from AI-generated images to fan drawings. This aggressive approach has sparked confusion and concern among users, as it appears to be targeting a wide range of content beyond just official Nintendo imagery.
